2016 Royal Rumble Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
The ante has just been raised.
Watch Royal Rumble, live on the award-winning WWE Network
The unprecedented development was announced by WWE Chairman and CEO Mr. McMahon on the Jan. 4 edition of Raw after Reigns defeated Sheamus in a title match officiated by Mr. McMahon. Heading into that evening, the WWE Chairman had promised Reigns would not leave Raw as champion. Though Reigns proved Mr. McMahon wrong that night, will The Big Dog defy the odds and outlast 29 other Superstars in the ever-unpredictable Royal Rumble Match?
Exclusive interviews: Superstars on Rumble's historic stakes
Perhaps the single most anticipated bout of the year, the Royal Rumble Match is utterly unique for its scale and rules. Prior to the match, all 30 competitors draw their entry number randomly. The Superstars who draw Nos. 1 and 2 begin the bout, and a new Superstar joins the fray every 90 seconds until all 30 Superstars have entered the ring. The only way to be eliminated is to be thrown over the top rope and to the outside, with both feet touching the floor. On the Jan. 18 edition of Raw, the McMahon Family revealed Roman Reigns would enter the match at the unenviable No. 1 spot after pulling his name three times from the Royal Rumble tumbler.
So far, the following Superstars have been declared official participants in the match:
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, No. 1 entrant
- Brock Lesnar
- Sheamus
- Chris Jericho
- Stardust
- Bray Wyatt
- Erick Rowan
- Luke Harper
- Braun Strowman
- Dolph Ziggler
- Ryback
- Big Show
- Curtis Axel

The ante has just been raised.
